We have maintained for awhile now that the Cleveland Indians should most definitely get a long term contract done with Francisco Lindor, and the money shouldn’t be an object.
We understand it will take a major financial commitment to keep the All Star shortstop, with the Tribe having to pay him over $30 million per year.
One of the arguments we hear against this is teams can’t devote a large percentage of their payroll to one player and remain competitive, particularly if they are not a large market franchise.
We feel there are exceptions to every “rule”, and Lindor should be that exception.
